This descriptive exploratory qualitative study reflected on family and social relationships during outdoor adventure activities. The general context was Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Six preselected children, aged 5-12, who regularly participate in outdoor adventure activities, as well as one parent who supports their activities was included (12 total participants). Data were collected through observation, field diaries, semi-structured interviews, and were investigated with the content analysis technique. This study identified values in the parent/child relationship that legitimize education for and through adventure, developments in this intergenerational relationship, as well as the strengthening of family ties through outdoor adventure activities.
